This change makes the dump almost unusable. Note that registers contain any
kind of information, not only pointers.
My understanding is that %px was introduced because printing the
pointer directly is sometimes worth the security risk. IMHO, this
is one place where we want to risk printing the real value.
Anyway, it needs to be decided by security gurus. Adding some more
people into CC.
